Pedagogical approach

This course combines two days of in-person training, focused on learning theoretical concepts, discussions, and role-playing, with two sessions of individual online coaching. The personalized coaching allows participants to apply the concepts to their specific contexts, ensuring practical relevance.

By alternating between group learning and one-on-one coaching, participants not only grasp and internalize managerial concepts but also apply them to their everyday work. Large-group discussions foster experience sharing, exchange of ideas, and critical reflection on current practices, while case studies and role-playing simulations with professional actors help develop the skills needed for real-world application.
